  Way to go, GS.

  Previous blog removed. Way to just take away the ol' freedom of speech there. I stand by what I said. Firing Jeff was the wrong move to make. Does this site have any integrity left? GSseems to bebecoming biased and untrustworthy. Jeff was just the start.

  flip the switch and hot the red button

  That red button is also labelled 'go baby go' for you car enthusiasts. Not the Shelby '66 GT 500. Not that Elanor. I'm talking about the Mustang Mach 1. Thats right. The original pony car. And possibly the second most beautiful thing I've fallen in love with this week.
  
  The 1975 version to be specific, built during the zenith of car design, when everything was sleek and gorgeous without needing spoilers, fins and fiddly little vets that don't really do anything. Put simply I'm not a fan of the modern supercar. I have a taste for the newer Aston's, but thats because I'm British and Aston Martins are burned into my very DNA.
  
  If you looked at my perfect 10 car garage you wouldn't find Konnisegegegegs, Zondas or even, Ferarri's. Oh no. In my perfect 10 car garage there would be ford mustands, pontiac GTO's, DB7's and even a Mini cooper. If it was built anytime since 1988 the car is likely to be blocky and ugly and unresponsive, or so sleek and fiddly that it's just not worth it. By 'it' I mean the few dozen thousand pounds it will cost to own the basic model of a supercar.
  
  So give me your old beauties if nobody else wants them. Speaking of which, if anyone has a yellow 1976 camero with twin lateral racing stripes I will sell you my sole for it.
  
  Moving on- It's pathetic peoples and video games time. All roled into one. Not only do I now get to have a go at Tony 'I'm really Dave in disguise' Blair, and go on about video games. Oh, And I get to slag off the church of england.
  
  Let me explain. For those of you not savvy with games news, or even now The six o'clock news on BBC 1, The church of england has decided to attempt to sue SOny for using the Greater Manchester cathedral in the Video Game 'Resistance: Fall of man'. A breakout title for the PS3, and the only game worth buying in europe for the console at this time. It mostly involves the blasting, shooting and general fragging of aliens who feel humans are a tad annoying.
  
  One such environment used in the game is the cathedral as I stated already, and, no less than 4 months after it's release in England, the church have clocked on. Even though the game's been out in the US since last november...
  
  What surprises me most isn't the fact that the church are suing. They're just being idiotic because Sony got all the legal rights to use the location aaaages ago. No, what it intruiging is how the hell they found out about it in the first place. I don't really see the average vicar settling back in his armchair for a few hours of violence, blood and swearing. No ordinary gamer would mention this, the ramifications being obvious, because if there's one thing the defunct organisation of the church is good at, it over-reacting.
  
  Which means that somewhere, there is a regular church going gamer, who sat down one day to play- allow me to demonstrate. 'church going video gamer' "Oh good, guns, blood, swearing and violence. Lovely! If I didn't like those things I wouldn't have bought the game." then suddenly "Killing lalal- *gasp* a- A CHURCH? BLASPHEMY!"
  
  ...And so on. You get the point. And having vented my spleen on the subject, I don't feel so inclined to scream bloody murder at Blair. But i'll do it anyway. Firstly, This is a problem between a private industry operating in a free market and the church. Golden rule of politics anybody? Do not mix Religion and Politics. It upsets people. And secondly the fact that the Lame duck that blair is thinks he has any real say on what the hell anybody does anymore has no relevance.
  
  I'm afraid that any fans he had in the large gaming community now hate him. The rest of us hate him even more.

  when dell freezes over.

  Put simply, I want a mac. I very badly want a mac. the problem being that i cant afford one. I've had it with blue screens and slow downs and crashes, I need something reliable to work on. At the moment I use a 2 year old packard bell amd xp powered machine, and already i notice its slow and clunky in comparison to the iMacs I use at school, But seeing as I cannot afford a mac, my best alternative is a dell ordered from their website, which costs £279. Cheap and more powerful than what im using at the moment, but it still seems lacking in that sleek shiny beauty macs have...
